Given your interests, just hit downtown in either place and you’ll see lots.
I don’t know these particular towns, but most are closed to vehicular traffic downtown and you can walk through the old towns – the architecture alone is smashing. Downtown is usually old town – new buildings have to go to the outskirts. So you should enjoy all the most authentic buildings, inns and so on.

Thanks Dom, downtown it is. I’ve been looking into walking tours. Where you can buy a map of things to see and do for a couple of euro’s. I’m thinking leisurely stroll, talking photos, being tourists, delis, eateries, no lines.. and low stress!
In Alsace they often let you taste wine for free in the wine producing areas, so you can walk through and drink good wine, all free.
I noticed my post was a bit succinct. So Strasbourg of course is a very interesting city with lots of medieval buildings and streets and you get a free map and points of interest at the tourist center. The thing is Germany was mostly destroyed in WWII, so there is much more to see on the west side of the Rhine than east side unfortunately. So I would spend as much time as possible in Alsace. And visiting Alsace wine villages is a lot of fun as I said earlier, which you reach from Strasbourg by you need to pay (bus or train).
